NUTR 295
Description:
Continuing our practice with the Scientific Method, this week your group will work
together to design a research study to answer a nutrition question, and you’ll evaluate if
your proposed research is ethical.
Prior to Discussion:
Each group member should:
1. Watch two YouTube videos:
1. (4 minutes) The components of a good research hypothesis. (The video
discusses an alternative use for doughnuts!)
2. (7 minutes) The ethics of performing research with human subjects.
2. Revisit section 1-5a on “The Scientific Approach” in the textbook, and especially
review the different types of research study designs identified in Figure 1-5.
During Discussion:
This week, your group should design a research study to address the following
scenario:
A large proportion of college students are known to skip breakfast before their morning
classes. A nutrition professor wonders if students would perform better in her morning
classes if they begin to eat breakfast consistently before coming to class. She’s asked
you to design a research study to answer her research question: If full-time
undergraduate students eat breakfast consistently before their morning classes, how
will their (academic) performance in those morning classes be affected?
1. By Friday, your group should:
1. Decide on a basic study design to answer the research question. (See
Figure 1-5 in your text.)
Write a hypothesis to indicate your scientific “best guess” at what you
expect to find.
1. By Monday, your group should work to answer the following questions about your
study:
1. What will you do to the subjects, if anything?
2. What outcomes will you measure, and how will you gather the data?
3. What outcomes would you expect to see if your hypothesis is true?
4. What are the strengths and weaknesses of your proposed study?
5. Are there any potential risks to your subjects? And do the potential
benefits outweigh the potential risks for your subjects
General reminders:
• PLEASE BE SURE NOT TO REPEAT INFORMATION; if another group member
has already answered a question, you may comment on that question as well
adn add to the answer, but you should not answer the question in the same way.
• BE SURE TO ADD TO THE DISCUSSION IN A SUBSTANTIAL WAY, helping to
guide your group toward the design of a study and the analysis of this possible
study. I’m not looking for perfection, but rather for evidence that you’ve grappled
with these ideas and put substantial thought into your posts.

1) How many different meanings can you ascribe to the sentence below?
“I never said he stole my money.”
2)
Imagine that you work in a hospital as a Health IT specialist. This is that problem in front of you:
You got an information that a laptop is stolen. The laptop was in a secure building, in a locked room,
with a security cable attached. The researcher who was using the laptop had several thousand
patients on the registry and was authorized by the IRB to use this data for research. The PC had a
password to the file. Your team concluded that it was an inside job.
There were numerous devices in the room. The person broke into the room, cut the cable, and stole
a lot of equipment. They then passed it on to someone else. Once the hospital knew it was stolen,
they knew what was on the PC because they had an IRB for the researcher. It still took two weeks
to figure out how to notify everyone affected.
One of the recipients realized he had a stolen device, which he then gave to his attorney, who
returned it to the hospital. They verified that the laptop had never been turned on using an outside
security firm. No data was accessed They notified the affected people that the data has not been
accessed and therefore their privacy was not compromised.
Estimated cost at $100,000.
Your job is to develop a new security protocol. What are your first steps and what are solutions that you
will propose?
